About THE TWINS, Waikato
THE TWINS is a weather-sensitive Coromandel dive with a central swim-through, shallow structural relief, and good small-life viewing around the rock and coral formation. It suits divers with some experience, rewards a run of settled weather, and uses water movement as part of the dive rather than fighting it. Plan on a controlled descent and stay conservative with gas and turnaround timing.
